Culkin was born on August 26, 1980 in New York City to Patricia Brentrup and Christopher 'Kit' Culkin. Culkin has six siblings, of which brothers Rory and Kieran are also actors. Culkin is the nephew of actress Bonnie Bedelia, his father's sister.

Culkin started his acting at the age of four when he appeared in a stage production of Bach Babies at the New York Philharmonic. He followed up with a small role in the 1985 TV movie, The Midnight Hour. In 1988, he appeared in as a kidnap victim in an episode of the popular action TV series, The Equalizer. In 1989, he appeared in his first big role, as a precocious young boy in film director John Hughes' Uncle Buck, a comedy starring John Candy. His memorable role included a scene in which he grilled John Candy's character with questions and said that he did so because "I'm a kid - that's my job."

John Hughes was so impressed with Culkin's performance in Uncle Buck that he later wrote Home Alone with Culkin in mind. Culkin appeared in Home Alone in 1990 as Kevin McCallister, a boy accidentally left at home by himself during his family's Christmas vacation. Culkin's Home Alone role made him an internationally known box office movie star. After Home Alone became a major box office hit, Culkin's became the highest-paid child actor in movie history, reportedly commanding up to $10 million per movie.

Culkin formed a friendship with singer Michael Jackson around the time that Home Alone hit the theaters. Culkin reportedly stayed over at Jackson's weirdo Neverland Ranch and later appeared in Jackson's video for the hit song Black or White. There were also rumors that Jackson, an accused pedophile, molested Culkin around this time. Culkin, however, later publicly denied these rumors when he testified at Jackson's child molestation trial in 2005.In 1992, Culkin again struck box office gold when he reprised the Kevin McAllister role in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. However, Culkin was unable to carry success from the Home Alone movies into other roles. During the mid-1990s, Culkin appeared in moderately successful flicks, such as The Good Son, My Girl and appeared in the flops Getting Even with Dad, Richie Rich, and The Pagemaster. In 1994, Culkin mysteriously stopped acting.

Culkin's home life also experienced some major turmoil when his parents divorced and had a custody battle over him when he was a mere 15 years of age. His family life spilled over into the tabloids, which generally portrayed his father, his manager at the time, as being some kind of nut or psychopath.

Culkin got married at the young age of 18 in 1998 to actress Rachel Miner. It's unclear as to whether Culkin married at such a young age to get away from his parents or to remove the psychological stains inflicted by possibly having been molested by Michael Jackson. Regardless of the reason, the marriage was not meant to last and Culkin divorced two years later, in 2000.

Culkin has recently attempted to return to acting, but has been unable to come even close to his previous level of success. He has appeared in the crappy movies Party Monster (2003) and Saved!(2004). He is scheduled to appear in the 2008 film, Sex and Breakfast, which was actually filmed in 2006 but the release of which has already been pushed back for two years, presumably because it is so bad.

Part of the reason for lack of recent success is probably because Culkin, like many former child stars, was a cute kid who grew into a not-so-cute adult. He has morphed into a somewhat goofy-looking and androgynous young man and often has a brooding look on his face.

Despite his current appearance, he has somehow managed to attract women. I assumed that Culkin was gay until I discovered that he is apparently dating Mila Kunis, an actress from That 70s Show. They have supposedly been dating since 2002. It's unclear whether she's a beard or if the relationship is legit.

Culkin's lack of recent success may have led him to turn to drugs to find solace. In 2004, Culkin was arrested for possession of marijuana and two dangerous controlled substances (Xanax and sleeping pills). Here is his mugshot:

Macaulay Culkin, once the brightest child star in Hollywood, has seen his career blow in flames and apparently occasionally turns to drugs to escape reality. For this and the other reasons discussed above, Macaulay Culkin is one washed up celebrity!

Dner,Party Monster was a giant piece of crap. They should have let our gang play the characters in that movie! Saved wasn't as bad but I did enjoy Culkin as a wheelchair bound jackass. I heard he once smoked crack out of Dustin Diamonds asscrack. Anyone else hear that?

LNA I imagine that they are still around. I do not come over to IMDB because all the fun has been stopped. I enjoyed posting about Mikey O and Chris Burke but for some reason IMDB found it necessary to delete all of our witty posts. I blame Mike O, but I think nature has been cruel enough to that Mask look a like, freak of nature!

He's gorgeous in that black & white pic. Saved was a great movie, by the way. Mack also wrote a book called Junior. He was supposed to be a regular on a TV show few years back, but it never got picked up by the network.

Who the hell is INa and Rocco on the IMDB? BITCH People post topics about me on the Macaulay Culkin Board! I'ma STAR bitch.(JEnny aka spacebunnay!!!!) So frick you people.O BTW. Mack charges in gay favors not money duh.If you break up with biff over the phone for him he will do eneythang.

Macaulay Culkin is fucking awesome. Party Monster was a good movie, and Saved was decent... well honestly rather forgettable, although it took some pretty brave shots at Christianity. Being a child star is unimaginably hard (its hard enough being a child), and I have way too much sympathy for this boy to see him trashed so badly. He could have turned out much worse, given the circumstances. I mean he has certainly handled fame at a young age better than... well, Britney Spears for instance...

Mac was good in the movie saved. I think he should be careful about the type of movies roles he selects. I think he should get some work in thrillers and suspense movies. He looks like he could play the role as a hard to catch psycho or an upscale criminal. I think he should stay away from homosexual roles, because people would view that as him "coming out the closet" instead of his "big come back."

I found it quite brave and amusing that Macaulay chose PARTY MONSTER as his comeback role. He is a great actor and I look forward to him taking on other challeging roles. His ex-wife, is a very gifted actress as well.

I totally disagree with this blog. Party Monster has to be one of my favorite movies ever!! Saved! was a good movie as well. Culkin is absolutely gorgeous and is living the good life, contrary to what this blog says.

Macaulay Culkin was SPOT ON in his role playing murderer Michael Alig. I was very familiar with the Club Kid scene in NYC and knew Alig -- so unless you were there -- saw it - met the real players -- then watched the film -- don't knock it!

It was the most insane murder – a crazy time – and it was what it was, and all of it was properly captured on film in the same manner and way it “was.”

But Seth Green playing James St. James – it was a bit camp at best -- and James is a LOT better looking than Seth (and much taller too).

What is your problem with Michael Jackson? Even when someone stand up and says he DID NOT molest them, you accuse him? Boy, you are on the wrong track man..

Btw. marihuana is not THAT dangerous. Actually it's less dangerous than alcohol, so don't think that because a star is taken with weed in his pants, he may be a drugaddict. Read some facts before you post stuff like that, thank you.

I don't think Michael Jackson was a child molester. I believe Michael was always a child himself, but trapped in an adult's body. He was just a "kid" who invited other kids over for sleepovers at his place. Listen to his voice when he speaks: he talks like a kid, and behaves like one when he is not singing. [He reminds me of Tom Hanks in the movie "Big".] Unfortunately most people never really understood him and tended to judge him from a different perspective.

Also, I think we shouldn't be hating Culkin like this either. He did well for himself as a kid; unfortunately we stopped liking him when he grew up, because he stopped being cute. That is not his fault: one cannot control one's own looks. It is really we who are shallow for judging him based on looks. At least he didn't get dragged down completely by a combination of drugs, celebrity status and lack of family support.

I feel so bad for him and i'm moved to near tears. i used to love him and his hows and i think he's cute if note drop-dead gorgeous and i just hate to see him go to waste like this. when i look at his pictures, i just wish there was some way i could just hug him tight.. :(

The Home Alone movies were poorly made and simply not funny! They exploited and promoted violence and - if they did anything - they should have showed the public how deadly their children's toys were!

Macaulay's best (young) performance was in The Good Son - even though it was not played as bad assed as it should have been played. But then, what does a twelve year old (or thereabouts) know about being a sociopath?

I was never a fan, even though, strangely enough, I thuroughly enjoyed his performance in the tv series "Kings"!

Has 27-year-old Macaulay Culkin flexed his considerable muscle with 20th Century Foxmany of whom would open to debate, represented 20th Century Fox star in the 1990 Hit "Home Alone". Will Macaulay be the Father in "Home Alone" Five, 20th Century Fox said that he came to Fame in the 1990 Holiday hit "Home alone`?, Now with a brand new Screen Play by Jamie P. a senior at Mesquite High School in Gilbert Arizona, Fox hopes the sequel will come out bynext Christmas, The Film starts filming this June, will it be another gold mine? "Home Alone" Five is scheduled to start filming in Chicago\Winnetka this November, the Director, "Chris Columbus" and some of the other cast and crew were already in place. Now, filming has been abruptly delayed for at least nine months, possibly longer, to accommodate Macaulay's schedule.Director Chris Columbus, & the head of Fox, said in an interview thatthey where casting Macaulay for the Fifth sequel of "Home Alone” Macaulay Was given the script nine months before the Director Chris Columbus said, referring to "HOME ALONe" One."We had a signed contract with him to do "Home Alone" 5 about four months ago. Culkin was the first respond to us about the script." Fox proceeded on the assumption that he didn't want the choice role. Then, Chris Columbus said that Macaulay would “Do It Again”.

He played in that magnificent but short lived show King and rocked it as King Silas' creepy nephew.

It is not good to slander folks; Michael Jackson did not molest Culkin or anyone else. Molesters don't stop just because they have children. If you have definite proof of molestation then bring it, otherwise all that can be said is that it is alleged that he molested Culkin.

omg, what's up with you negative people? so judgmental i.e. jealous. well, enjoy your little boring lives judging other people, remember to give them a chance to judge you! bless you all. mac is living his life outside this ridiculous 'washed up celebrities' blog, hmmmm, maybe turn your attention to the country and world and see what you can do, in a positive way, to help others.

you are ssssoooo full hot air.a. Party Monster and saved are not horrible movies, and any lack of substance can hardly be attributed to macaulay's performanceb. while xanax and clonazepam are illegal to posess without a prescription, they can hardly be considered "dangerous drugs" c. he's totally hotd. celebrities don't turn to pot and sleeping pills because their careers are failing - circumstances such as those call for crack and heroin, duuuuhhh

He did the same thing I did when our show ended. He got into a rut, then picked up the Boot Straps & started over. It takes time to re-invent yourself, whether it's acting jobs or construction jobs. Cudos to Mack. I Don't agree with everything folks do and I've made plenty of mistakes along the way but I think judging choices or performances is more to do with personal frustrations instead of true observations, and a lot to do with "HYPE" that can get a suposed "Good Read".

This is just mean, who spends their time writing an article criticizing a stranger. I think his life sounds kinda tough and if this is true I feel sorry for him. I think anyone who likes hearing bad things about people's lives is fucking twisted.

my personal opinion:he was an adorable kid and he's still pretty smexi now and days i have had similar problems and use bulimia as my escape,he really is an amazing person hes so kind,calm,and down to earth.

Who ever write this shit is a lyer!!I think he is quite handsome, Party Monster is a good film. And what the hell is wrong with smoking a bit of weed now and then, lots of celebs do it. Lots of people do it! I really fucking hate the media! Just because he smokes weed he's a drug addict and he's ruined his career. Stupid dumb-fucks!

Gosh, some people need to leave him alone. He was a very cute boy and has grown into a nice looking adult. Why do some people have to be so cruel? Get something better to do with your life opposed to criticizing others. He is talented and hopefully his life continues in the right direction.

I'm so impressed with the writer of this blog and the really admirable people who sit around waiting to pounce on the latest victim of his deeply meaningful posts. I bet it would be a real treat to hang out with you all. Caulkin is quite a cute grown-up and did an excellent job in "Party Monster." Caulkin hardly qualifies as a wash up, simply because he has continued to work. I could name some real wash ups, but why add insult to injury?

every Christmas and even throughout the year, my family and I love the Home Alone movies. Pagemaster is a good movie for kids and my kids like it. Yes they, as are many other movies, could be picked apart but they are entertaining. Peoples opinion very but He was great in these movies and I'm sorry for any hardships he's had to deal with. I hope the best for him

Lol what complete bullshit. "oh no, he smokes pot and takes Xanax! He's a terrible person! What a washed up celebrity." do you know him? Have you had a conversation with him? Did he tell you that he was molested by michael Jackson or that he had a terrible childhood? Didn't think so. Because if you had watched even one interview, you would know that all of these things you've said are false. No wonder he was fucking agoraphobic. I wouldn't want to run into judgmental idiots like you either.

The author of this piece started out well and then turned into deep shit.I hated two, err, 3 of his comments.That MC married to clear the stain of being abused by MJ. What fudging crystal ball is this that enables this dirty douchebag to affirm that MJ did molest MC?Other, that party monster was crappy. Not as crappy as the author's face and stinky asshole I bet.Another, I note an undertone of homophobia when he says he thought MC was gay.What a piece of turd, people with this mentality can only be bitter and take joy in washed up actors' ostracism, because he himself was never ever famous anyway.

Mac's best role was 'the good son'. He doesn't have to act anymore than that. He is a smart adult that had to overcome many personal problems like we all do. All while dealing with a bunch of adults circling him like sharks. Bless you Mac, I will pray for you. Jennifer

He looks like my son. And I bet he was fun to party with at times. I know my son is when he isn't stoned or drunk. He is alot of fun. I am grateful that my decision was a good one and now he has a pitbull monitoring him 24/7. I didn't want him to end up like his Dad. Or a statistic. I was told he is doing well now that I had to do some tough love on him. I have had to make decisions like this through-out raising my children. And at times it was so hard because all I wanted to do was party with them while they went to a bar on their 21st birthday and celebrate how I somehow lived through it all.

So many nobody's badmouthing Mr Culkin, how many millions have you made.Macaulay Culkins name will live on in the movies he made,you will be forgotten in a couple of days.Jealousy is a terrible affliction.Bye Bye dearies.

i heard he now sells his backpipe for drug money to willing older men. they should call his next movie "bloody crackpipe"... this feature film can depict his life after being a crack whore and how he tries to come to terms with the fact that even his own parents hate him..... and being an ugly loser

i think he is a good guy and a winner... since when does smoking weed and doing drugs make one a loser, everyone kows that drugs are cool. and he bangs more chicks than all the people on this sad blog together. he probibly has aids and like 250 kids from all the mindless sex!!! drugs are cool and so is this guy! hats off to you man!!!!!!

I love him he's cute and I love party monsters in watching it now I personly find the good son to be a way better movie the home alone but who cares I hope that he never od's cause for real he's one of my fav actors ever!!!!

Between his acting coach and his voice coach, around the world showings of the Home Alone series, video's. CD's; Macaulay was offered at onetime 2% gross but his Manager turned it down, thinking; ah, just another kids movie; here today, gone tomarrow and thought that nearly 10 million would be quicker money to himself.What he didnt know that Home Alone was a rare universal movie; around for a very longtime and still is.The series made over 1 Billion $$$.If you look closely at Macaulay and close at M. Jacksons face; tell me Jackson wasn't trying to look like his newest BoyToy, Jackson had a thing about pretty white boyz. He did not have a disease that whitened his skin; his disease was in his head. Im not saying Michael didn't have immense talent; he did. It was 70% sexual; it fit his needs; at that time and 30% Fatal; he was intrigued by Death, he would read about death. Michael made so much money; Hollywood didn't like to convict Money Moguls. They may accuse them but the people behind the scenes made sure that 112,000,000.00 paid everyone off AND ONCE PAID OFF; for them to shut their mouths. If Jackson went on stage for a tour; he'd return with four times that amount.....

I dont know if I would consider someone getting caught with dope and xanax and sleeping pills a person who has fallen for drugs. Pot is decriminalized in a lot of states and legal in some, xanax is an anti anxiety medication often prescribed and which does not have narcotic properties and sleeping pills are also something doctors frequently prescribe for insomnia. The possession of none of these makes anyone a fucked person in need of help. That is just being made into a big deal and sensationalist. Adding that info to his biography is just for drama even though there is really nothing bad with it.

Had he been caught with crack hurting someone, I'd get it.

He is a washed up though. I really believe immense popularity, fame and wealth and a life under the microscope like that must be hard to stomach for anyone, especially a child. Suddenly you are Mistered and Sir-ed and you got all this money and fame and you can get anything you want and you got power and that can be overwhelming. Combined with greedy parents the result are disastrous.

I think he is on harder drugs though. And he's gotten ugly. He is one of those people who just keeping getting worse as they age.

It's tragic what happened to him. What galled me was when his father cried crocodile tears in public about his obvious drug problem, when one of the reasons for his drug problem was having such a lousy father.

If anything he is a creep his daddy is like JTT mommy who's a Sociopath she forced the fame on JTT & he's so screwed up because of her. He had no childhood & had to act like an adult at just 8 yrs of age. He's afraid of her also there's so many stories of his mommy sleeping around. She's so sick she even slept with Tim's brother there's so many stories of that family. Stay away there crazy!

No question this little faggot got the snot molested out of him by Michael Jackson. Joke: Whats Macauly Culkin's favorite salad dressing? Neverland ranch. boom motherfucker. Not to mention the fact that joe pesci slimed his tuna can fat cock into macauly's ass on the set of home alone 2. the damage was so sever apprently they had to postpone production for two weeks.
